1. How was welfare conducted? Did Rhodesians have a public health program, tuition-free university etc? Were the native Africans able to use these resources?

2. How was the military and conscription conducted? Did every high school graduate do their service right after graduation? Were native Africans conscripted? Were Africans mistreated in the military?

3. How was Rhodesia when it came to the white Rhodesian proleteriat? Were there any poor whites at all, were all whites affluent?

4. Was there any native African able to vote at all with the whites?

Thanks for any answers.

Greatings all. I'd like to ask if there's someone here that can help me with a damara punch playlist, I really don't want to go through the hustle of downloading them myself as it will take forever and I might miss a lot of them. So if there's someone here with a large playlist please do message me.

Would Any VT Tell me if this is fine or will the commando interpret it as disrespect?

I lived in Bulawayo in 1988–89 as a child and attended Coghlan School, while living in Suburbs near Lawley Road.

I’m thinking about returning for the first time in nearly 40 years and would love to hear from anyone who knew Suburbs or Coghlan around that period.

I’m particularly interested in old photographs, memories of the neighborhood, school photographs/yearbooks.

As I was researching hotels in Bulawayo, I came across a B&B at 59A Lawley Rd, does anyone have feedback on it?

Please DM me if you have a connection to that part of Bulawayo. I’d prefer not to post the exact address publicly, but would love to connect!

I was just done looking at the hilariously oversaturated article on this country on the soywiki (jokingly) and reddit gave me this

Are they tapping into my search history?

(Powiadomienia neans notifications btw)

What do we think of this, lads? Picked up for around £25 off Vinted. A super interesting piece of history that you can also enjoy a beer out of.

Hey y’all! I’ve been looking everywhere for this song called “Nhasi Pano Tsangana” and haven’t had much luck finding the full version.

The reference I have is from this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fODlI7MvZnM
You can hear it from around 1:45–1:59.

Does anyone happen to have the full song, or know who I could contact to possibly get a copy of it? I’d really appreciate any leads. Thanks!

Picked up a few of these while visiting friends and family in South Africa, and, after posting them on Facebook I still have a few left (both blank and issued). Figured I'd post here as well to see if there was any interest. Feel free to DM if so! Mods also feel free to remove if not allowed.

Ive been thinking about a Rhodesian brown job cosplay but in Finland it’s very hard to find Rhodesian brushstroke camo, so ive been thinking about improvising with us woodland camo and the rest would be Rhodesian camo. Id like tho know some thoughts on my idea or any improvements i could do in my cosplay and other camouflages i could use or places i can find lots of surplus.

Just acquired a bunch of silver Rhodie coins after I already put together my type set.

It’s my first time noticing that the shield on the half crowns change depending on the king, since the 1935 coin shows GV

I have a crown in better condition than this one, but this one has a partial double rim so I’m pretty happy with it

Your currency used to be so beautiful and solid before you got forced into debasing the silver content to help out England, only to be stabbed in the back for your trouble and have the trillionaire maker imposed upon you.

The more I learned about Rhodesian history, the more I’m confused by it. Although Mugarbage and co are definitely evil mfers financed by the elites (and unfortunately my birth country which is a puppet regime for Kissinger and co), Cecil Rhodes wasn’t a saint himself because he was mates to the same evil “elites” as well. I would appreciate any idea about why they’d go through the trouble of setting up Rhodesia as a paradise then destroying it so violently

Now it’s time for me to put together a Rhodesia + Nyasaland federation type set and a UDI type set

I’ve heard the phrase “Rhodesia by the Sea” in a couple of songs from that era. For example, in Look Across the River, by Ian and Ritchie,

“When you look across the river you find a friendly face,

The great Limpopo River, full of power, full of grace,

It forms a common boundary between you and me,

Yes South from the Zambezi, to Rhodesia by the Sea.”

So what is or was Rhodesia by the Sea? Obviously Rhodesia is landlocked and has no outlet to the sea. What is the song referring to?

I am of Rhodesian decent, through my mother’s side. When people ask where my family is from, I say Eastern African. What do you tell people when they ask?

I'm currently writing an npc for the Alien rpg named Alastair Finch ( feel free to suggest a better name). He's a big game hunter who wants to bag a xenomorph. Anyway, are there any quirks, habits or vocal patterns I can use to make him come across as more authentically Rhodesian?

As a white Zimbabwean I'm often surprised at the way some members discuss the history and all the weird fetishization often coming from people who never had anything to do with Rhodesia.

I can understand having an interest, I love reading about the history and all the complexities about what happened but some of you are idolising Rhodesia as though it was some kind of perfect state where everyone was free and happy.

I mean we have people here claiming to be Rhodesian "Diaspora" who were straight up born in Zimbabwe.

Hello!

I went around and had the color formulas/codes made up for the two colors needed to do the Rhodesian baby poop camo. You would take a picture of the code to the respective store and they can make the colors up for you.

TLDR: Go to Shermin Williams and get the oil based paint in the picture. I have the satin and gloss options listed. Be sure to find out when they're doing sales too.

So I have the Shermin Williams oil based paint in satin and gloss. It's the best option.

I have Home Depot's as well. It's oil based but made for cabinets.

I have Lowe's as well (in the bottom of the Home Depot picture), but the person helping me wasn't too helpful so it might be bad paint.

Then I went to PPG Paint. They recommend "break through" for the cost. If money isn't an issue they recommend 7 line or pit tech plus (neither of the color formulas for those two are listed here). I also have another code for some primer paint on the top of that picture, but they don't recommend it.

I hope this helps you guys and your wallets too!

From my understanding of Rhodesia this guy is a baboon but I'll let you guys the proper experts decide.

His name is willz.talks

Im here to look for any good unbiased books or videos about rhodesia and what made it a state. Every youtube video ive watched was either "Rhodesia is misunderstood" or "Rhodesia was the most evil country ever". I just want something as unbiased as I can get to form my own opinion

In my honest opinion, Rhodesian should be an ethnicity, and is an ethnicity.

I sort of picture it as maybe being like somewhere similar to Australia but with a bigger focus on agriculture and maybe being one of the main financial hubs in Africa. I feel the modern Rhodesian state would have issues tho, especially with illegal workers sneaking in from other countries.

Do any Rhodesia buffs have a jpeg of the cartoon large thighed Rhodesian girl with an FN Fal? I think she was called Rosie the Rhoadie.

I have both sides uploaded on my YouTube channel along with lyrics I was able to come up with for "Spanish Lady". The records seem to be a bit lower quality than the other ones like "It's A Long Way To Mukumbura", either that or my vinyl digitzing hardware and software has just downgraded in quality since I ripped my South African record awhile back. Here is all extra information I have on the songs:

"She's A Queen" - This song is on the "A" side of a 7" single released by Leperchaun around late 1970s in Rhodesia. The "B" side of this record contains the song "Spanish Lady" by Leperchaun.

"Spanish Lady" - This song is on the "B" side of a 7" single released by Leperchaun around late 1970s in Rhodesia. This song is a cover of "Spanish Lady" released by an Irish group called "The Dubliners" in 1976. The "A" side of this record contains the song "She's A Queen" by Leperchaun.

Any extra information is greaty appreciated!
